The 5ubilcc Naval Rcvicw.

The scene at Portsmouth, England, oil the
occasion Of the naval jubilee on Saturday
was one of extreme animation, hundreds OF
private craft of every description, all hand,
somely decorated being anchored there The
vessels participating in the pageant as
paraders numbered lbs and included three
squadrons of ironclads and cruisers, aggre.
eating 81 vessels, IS torpedo boats, gunhoats
and iron defense ships, divided into 5 flotil-
las, 6 training briggs ard Is troop ships. Be-
sides these lbs ships under drill, there were
the imperial and Indian troop shins appoint
ed to carry the distinguished visitors, and
the small vessels aud dcckyard craft The
war ships were drawn up in four lines, facing
up channel, the starboard column being OPP
posite the Isle Of Wight, the port column
being oil Portsmouth. The ships were sta
toned two cables apart, the lines being
three cables between, the fiolillas were
ranged in double column between the port
column of ironclads aud the main land, and
the troop ships were placed in single col
umn between the starhoard line and the
Isle of Wight This made four lines
of vessels OH one side OF the chan
mel and three on the other, extending dis
lance of over two miles. The private craft
carrying sight seers must have numbered
several hundred Probably no such fleet
was ever seen before in time of peace. Ev-
cry class of the British navy was represent
ed. The review Of the Crimean fleet by the
Queen and the Prince Consort thirty. enc
wears ago would suffer by comparison with
this. Some of the stout wooden ships
which figured in that review were in
Portsmouth harbor Saturday decked out
for the occasion. Nelson's old ship,
the Victory, was also conspicuous
object. The Queen left Osborne House
a few minutes before three O'Clock and
went aboard the royal yacht Victoria and
Albert. The royal yacht and its attendant
vessels passed between the lines, proceed
lug as far as the Horse Elbow buoy then
turned passing between the columns OF large
shins, and then between tho lines oil foreign
ships of war. As her Majesty passed through
the lines of these endless war ships, each
yard being manned with hrawny ta7s, deaf
ening cheer after cheer were sent up from
the lusty crews to greet their sovereign, nut
it was not until the Queen had gone throngn
The double lines that the great cannon oil
the big ships began to thunder forth the
royal salute with roar that caused tho
great vessels to roll and the sea to increase
its heaving as shot after shot came booming
over the water. The Queen returned TO
Osborne about o'clock. Taken altogether,
the vessels which were drawn up i'll line
when The Queen passed extended over four
miles, and even this length was added to by
the great troop ship, laden with spectators,
also falling into line and saluting the Queen
as she made her progress. Between and
10 o'clock at night all the ships along the
lines were illuminated.
